Academic Outreach:
English Department and the Landini Memorial Speaker Series
The Department of English at Indiana State University has launched a new series of lectures and readings named in honor of past-president of ISU and Department of English Professor, Richard Landini. The Landini Memorial Speaker Series will feature talks by faculty and visiting scholars on subjects related to literature, writing, and the English language. Programs will occur once a month during each spring and fall semester.
The Indiana State University Writing Center takes as its primary mission one-to-one instruction in writing for all ISU students. The conferences between students and Center staff, either face-to-face or online, work to enable students to learn productive
writing habits including pre-writing activities, drafting, revising
and writing the final paper.
Using directive and non-directive instructional techniques, the Center staff encourages students to do their own work but to value consultation as a worthwhile part of composing. The ultimate goal of the Center is to advance the skills of student writers and researchers. When a student leaves the Writing Center after an appointment, he or she will be further along in the process of producing a polished piece of writing.
The Center also strives to promote and actively supports writing across the curriculum, serving students from all courses at all levels. The
staff often makes presentations to classes about writing and the Writing Center.
